Malaysia doesn't have four seasons and is far removed from icy slopes, but that didn't stop the tropical country from taking part in the Winter Olympics. Alpine ski racer Aruwin Salehhuddin, who created history by becoming the first Malaysian woman to compete at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, will once again make her second appearance at the 2026 edition in Milano Cortina, Italy.
The 21-year-old, who will be turning a year older on 14th February – just a day before her first competition at this year's Olympics, was drawn to the cold, the winter sports world, ever since she was a child. Although she represents Malaysia, Aruwin grew up in Bellingham, Washington, where she was introduced to alpine skiing from a young age.
Following in the footsteps of her Olympian father Salehhuddin Ayob, who competed for Malaysia in slalom kayaking at the Atlanta 1996 Games, her success didn't come overnight. From taking part in swimming and surfing to dancing and figure skating, and of course, skiing, she was raised in a family that loved sports and activities.
After years of training, racing, and perseverance, at just 17, she became the youngest Malaysian and the first female Malaysian Alpine skier to compete at the Beijing Winter Olympics. During her Olympic debut, she competed in the women's slalom course and finished 38th, which is an achievement to be proud of, considering that winter sports are a rare sight for Malaysians.
Beyond her Olympic achievements, she also excelled at the Asian Winter Games, having finished fourth in the women's slalom at the ninth Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China in 2025.
While she acknowledges the challenges of limited facilities, high costs and low visibility for winter sports in Malaysia, she remains hopeful that greater support and awareness will help the sport grow. With guidance from her father and personal coach Kai Alaerts, and the support of her mother Siti Alphiah Tunggal as team manager, Aruwin is working towards becoming the first Malaysian to qualify for the FIS World Cup.
As Malaysia's sole athlete at these Games, her competitions are scheduled on 15th and 18th February. Watch her live here.

This Ramadhan and Raya, Marriott Bonvoy partners with renowned Malaysian fashion label KHATAM to present "A Memory Etched In Time" — a festive collaboration that brings together contemporary fashion, cultural craftsmanship and warm hospitality across selected Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Malaysia.
Running from 18th February to 20th March 2026, the collaboration will unfold across participating hotels and dining venues nationwide, offering guests and loyalty members curated festive experiences. These include Ramadan dining offerings, limited-edition gifts and cross-brand privileges designed to enhance the season of togetherness.
SAMPING TAMPUK KECEPU
Rooted in heritage and inspired by nature, the Tampuk Kecepu motif reflects the quiet poetry of Malay symbolism. Tampuk marks the moment a flower becomes fruit, a beginning shaped with purpose, balance, and continuity. Structured lines express order and strength, while delicate floral buds symbolise growth and renewal. Together, they create a rhythm where refinement meets intention. Woven in brocade with a subtle sheen, this samping carries both structure and softness, the perfect companion to the Baju Melayu.
ARTISAN CLAY BATIK
Born from the hands of Kelantan's master batik artisans, each piece is crafted entirely by hand using the clay batik technique. Every line drawn, layer applied, and finishing touch carries the patience, care, and knowledge passed down through generations. Subtle variations in motif and texture highlight the artisan's touch, making every batik a unique expression of heritage and craftsmanship.
As part of the campaign, KHATAM Loyalist and Marriott Bonvoy members can purchase limited-edition Raya cookie boxes and Sampul Raya designed by Malaysian artist Osman Akbar. These will be available exclusively at Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral and The Westin Kuala Lumpur.
The collaboration also features Faces of Hospitality, a social storytelling series spotlighting Marriott Bonvoy associates across front-of-house and F&B teams, offering a human perspective on hospitality during the festive season.
Members will also enjoy cross-brand privileges, including up to 20% off selected Ramadan buffets for KHATAM Loyalists and 10% off KHATAM Raya collections for Marriott Bonvoy members. Beyond the festive period, the partnership will continue under Loyal to Tradition, introducing integrated loyalty benefits, curated rewards and future lifestyle collaborations for both communities.
Hublot proudly welcomes Jung Kook (정국), global artist, performer, and member of 21st-century pop icons, BTS (방탄소년단), as its new Global Brand Ambassador. The announcement has been celebrated in Seoul, marking the fusion of two worlds that have redefined what it means to be original: a watchmaker that reshaped modern horology and an artist who reshaped the sound and rhythm of a generation.
From the first fusion of gold and rubber in 1980, to the shockwave of the Big Bang in 2005 and now the reinvention of the Big Bang Original Unico, Hublot has turned innovation into identity. Jung Kook mirrors that same spirit: blending genres, creativity, emotions and instinct. The collaboration is not a coincidence; it is a convergence. Both the artist and Hublot go back to their origins, carrying with them the unmistakable DNA that makes them stand apart.
On the partnership, Jung Kook stated: "Performing Dreamers at the FIFA World Cup in 2022, with Hublot as Official Timekeeper of the competition, was a moment where time and music felt connected. Now, collaborating with Hublot feels like that moment coming full circle. I've always admired the brand's confidence, its craftsmanship, and its way of creating its own path."
Julien Tornare, Hublot CEO, affirmed: "Jung Kook is one of the most influential artists of his generation. His precision, his passion and his willingness to push boundaries reflect the very spirit of Hublot. Just as we continuously rethink, refine and re-engineer our creations, from the fusion of materials to the mastery of our in-house movements, Jung Kook carries the spirit of evolution, always transforming, always original. We are honoured to welcome him into the Hublot family."
BEYOND APPEARANCES: THE INNER ESSENCE WITHIN JUNG KOOK X HUBLOT
SOURCE: HUBLOT
Just as Hublot has evolved through innovation and reinvention, both are defined by depth and substance. In the same way, Hublot reveals its essence through mastery of its manufacture, the fusion of materials and technologies and the creation of its in-house Unico movement.
In 2005, Hublot did more than introduce a watch: it ignited a modern revolution. With the Big Bang, Hublot took fusion and turned it into modern alchemy, created a new visual language and established a design that has marked two decades, defining Hublot's legacy and continuing to shape what's next.
Since 2013, the year of his debut on stage, Jung Kook has blended genres, creativity and emotions, shaping a voice unmistakably his own. Today, with the 2026 announcement of Jung Kook as Global Brand Ambassador, Hublot celebrates the meeting of an artist who redefines originality and a watch that has just returned to its own beginnings with the Big Bang Original Unico.
WHY THE BIG BANG ORIGINAL UNICO BELONGS ON JUNG KOOK'S WRIST
SOURCE: HUBLOT
The Big Bang Original Unico, launched in January 2026, carries twenty years of Hublot mastery, from the very first fusion in 1980, to the design revolution of 2005, to its reinvention in 2026. It is built layer by layer, just as the artist builds himself song by song. Jung Kook's career reflects a journey defined by ongoing growth and artistic exploration. His work continues to evolve in ways that build on past achievements while opening new creative possibilities.
In this context, the Big Bang Original Unico serves as a meaningful partner that aligns with his individual style and artistic direction—rather than a symbol of any singular narrative. This is why the Big Bang Original Unico is not just a timepiece on his wrist. It is an extension of his creative code.
Hollywood continues to mourn the passing of "Dawson's Creek" actor James Van Der Beek, who passed away earlier this week from colorectal cancer. As a show of support, many stars are now lending a hand to help out his family during this difficult time.
Shortly after James' passing, friends of the family started a GoFundMe page to raise money to support his wife, Kimberly, and their six children. The money will help cover essential living expenses, pay bills, and support the children's education. James previously admitted that his cancer treatments put a strain on his finances.
Thankfully, it seems that his family won't have to face uncertainties in their future. A day after the GoFundMe campaign went live, it raised over USD2 million (approximately RM7.8 million). Notably, many renowned celebrities have also contributed to the fundraiser, offering help to their late peer's family.
One of the celebrities who donated to the campaign is director Steven Spielberg. Together with his wife, Kate Capshaw, the filmmaker donated USD25,000 (approximately RM97,400). The couple are the second-highest contributor to the campaign, after an anonymous donor who donated USD30,000 (RM116,800).
Actress Zoe Saldana also made a generous donation, pledging USD2,500 (approximately RM9,740) every month. According to reports, director Jon M. Chu and television personalities Ricki Lake and Derek Hough also contributed to the fundraiser, joining over 40,000 other donors.
James' family have expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support, saying it reminds them that the actor's spirit continues to bring people together. At the same time, fans continue to pay tribute to the star and his legacy.
